Sarah, a dietitian, was addressing a large audience in New York.
“The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here years ago,” she said. “Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the bacteria in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?”
Leon, a 75 year old man, sitting in the front row, stood up and said, “Wedding cake”.
